Ardent Response

The darkness we share
Gives me the light
And I continue to see no progress in myself

I’ve turned my check
I’ve looked the other way

More disgusted with the light
That darkens my days
All I want is white.

White.
Light.

Don’t help me
If I can’t help myself
Forget the problems of the future

I beg you,
Don’t forget the problems of the past

The flattened world flutters away
In your eyes
So live.
Live.
Live in me.

I am the knife.
I am the knife.
I am the knife.
I am the knife.
I am the knife.
I am the knife.
I am the knife.




I still love you.
